2018-06-07stdlib: Make pP insert no line breaks with field width zeroHans Bolinder
See also https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-607. A zero field width used to insert line breaks "everywhere", but with this patch no line breaks are inserted.
2018-03-12Allow multiple modifier characters in io:format control sequencesRichard Carlsson
This makes it possible to print unicode atoms at the same time as suppressing detection of printable lists.
2018-03-08Improve documentation of io:format ~p when Unicode is involvedRichard Carlsson
2018-01-09stdlib: Improve erl_eval's stacktracesHans Bolinder
The call "erlang:get_stacktrace()" is not handled explicitly. If there are issues, they can probably be ignored since erlang:get_stacktrace/1 will be deprecated and removed.
2017-04-24stdlib: Add Unicode modifier t to control sequence aHans Bolinder
The Unicode translation modifier 't' is added to the io:fread/2,3 control sequence 'a'.
2017-04-24stdlib: Add Unicode modifier t to control sequences w and WHans Bolinder
As of the introduction of Unicode characters in atoms, the control sequences 'w' and 'W' can return non-Latin-1 characters, unless some measure is taken. This commit makes sure that '~w' and '~W' always return Latin-1 characters, or bytes, which can be output to ports or written to raw files. The Unicode translation modifier 't' is needed to return non-Latin-1 characters.

2015-03-10Make the scanned form of the io_lib format strings available for processingRichard Carlsson
This adds three new functions to io_lib - scan_format/2, unscan_format/1, and build_text/1 - which expose the parsed form of the format control sequences to make it possible to easily modify or filter the input to io_lib:format/2. This can e.g. be used in order to replace unbounded-size control sequences like ~w or ~p with corresponding depth-limited ~W and ~P before doing the actual formatting.

2013-02-15[stdlib] Add documentation of ~tpHans Bolinder
A short description of how ~tp works now.
2013-02-15[stdlib] Add control sequence modifier 'l'Hans Bolinder
The modifier 'l' can be used for turning off the string recognition of ~p and ~P.
2013-01-25[stdlib] Remove documentation of ~tpHans Bolinder
There seems to be a need for a more elaborate solution when it comes to recognizing printable Unicode characters. The ~tp syntax is experimental, and may be removed in R16B.
2013-01-25[stdlib] Fix a contract bugHans Bolinder
Also minor corrections of the docs of io(3)

2013-01-02Clean up some of the Unicode documentationHans Bolinder
2013-01-02[stdlib, kernel] Introduce Unicode support for Erlang source filesHans Bolinder
Expect modifications, additions and corrections. There is a kludge in file_io_server and erl_scan:continuation_location() that's not so pleasing.

An incorrect spec, rpc:yield/1, has been fixed.

2010-01-26OTP-8343 The documentation is now possible to build in an open sourceLars G Thorsen
environment after a number of bugs are fixed and some features are added in the documentation build process. - The arity calculation is updated. - The module prefix used in the function names for bif's are removed in the generated links so the links will look like http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#append_element-2 instead of http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/erlang.html#erlang:append_element-2 - Enhanced the menu positioning in the html documentation when a new page is loaded. - A number of corrections in the generation of man pages (thanks to Sergei Golovan) - Moved some man pages to more apropriate sections, pages in section 4 moved to 5 and pages in 6 moved to 7. - The legal notice is taken from the xml book file so OTP's build process can be used for non OTP applications.
